I run up and down hills every weekend. I eat healthy food. I don’t eat fast food or drink soda. I need to be strong and fast.

My friends don’t understand me. They ask: “Ben, why do you do this? Do you like cheese?” But it’s not about the cheese. It’s about the dream! Do I win? Not every year. But I always try!
